Self Love Boudoir
Many people mistakenly think that boudoir photography is a recent occurrence. That’s actually very far from the case. It can be traced back all the way to the 1940’s. For those not in the know, boudoir photo sessions generally involve a sensual photograph that alludes to the act of nudity; if the lingerie isn’t on, then sheets, curtains, or other silky fabrics are used to help accentuate a woman’s body and create a more alluring picture.
Sugar & Spice Moments is particularly well known in Indianapolis and surrounding areas for offering these boudoir photo sessions to clients that are looking for a little bit, or a lot, of a boost. In our present era, there’s seemingly no end to the amount of stress that a woman must face. That stress often accumulates and builds up, usually settling into a dark air that clings to a person.
This stress can even result in trying to place higher standards on yourself. We’re in a rat race. Every day, there’s something else that needs to be covered. Every day, there’s something else that needs to be handled. You need to dress a certain way, act a certain way, and always focus on impressing the world around you.
Not only is this incredibly exhausting, but it’s just not healthy. While trying to meet the standards that society has placed on us, women can easily lose track of how they actually feel about themselves. It can sometimes be hard to remember why we love our bodies; why anyone would.
Having a boudoir photo session can help you remember how to love yourself. That’s because these photographs have a high focus on making your inner beauty shine. The goal isn’t to gussy you up under layers of filters and ruffles. The goal is to take your natural form and highlight it through posing, scenery, and your outfit – or lack thereof!
It’s not just the pose that can help. The color that your boudoir photograph is snapped in can significantly affect the mood. Often done in black and white or sepia tones, these images can bring a new level of allure to your life. Whether you’re trying to make a tantalizing image, add a layer of mystery to your form, or bring out your beauty through vintage fashion, a boudoir photograph can help.
Seeing your features softened, your body prized, and your smile on prominent display truly will make a difference in your state of mind.
The style used in a boudoir photo session is meant to highlight your natural beauty. It takes your natural form and finds a way to up lift it, playing on your emotional state and letting that create a stunning image. Now, that emotion doesn’t need to be sensual. Depending on the shoot and your ideal result, a boudoir photo session can create a mysterious aesthetic, highlight your joyous nature, and even show the world how relaxed you are within your own form.
These pictures are meant to create an image that accentuates your inner self. Having them taken can produce a feeling of euphoria and help remind you what it feels like to truly love your own body.
And not only can it bring you joy to look at, but the act of sharing this picture with your loved one can bring an entirely new level of spice to your life. You’re putting a part of yourself on display that is seldom seen; a part of you that is so utterly real, it’s impossible not to find it beautiful. At least half of the clients that Sugar & Spice Moments see are taking these pictures to share with their loved one… and most of them report that it reignites the once dimming light in their love life!
That’s because, even when you’re sharing these pictures with a loved one, they aren’t actually about sex. They’re about uplifting yourself – and there is nothing more attractive than knowing that your partner is confident in their own body.
By sharing one of these risqué photos with your partner, you can also remind them that you trust them. There is no greater form of trust than giving someone a picture like this. It’s a way to share your most vulnerable state, to remind them that you love them, and to have a bit of playful fun. The result of a Sugar & Spice Moments Boudoir Photography Session at our Indianapolis studio is going to be a risqué image, with a focus on who you are as a person.
Because there are no strict rules to having a boudoir photo taken, you can truly customize the experience so that it perfectly captures your own nature, your own interests, and your own need. There are countless options available to you, and countless ways to make this photography session well and truly your own.
Don’t feel like dressing up? No problem! Sheets are a perfect way to add form! If just a strip of cloth covering you isn’t enough, you’re more than welcome to wear clothes. Most commonly used would be lingerie.
Now, it used to be that corsets were the go too when it came to having a boudoir photography session, and they still are. But, as times change and the lingerie industry evolve, it’s become just as common to have one of these pictures taken in a teddy, a night gown, a cute pair of panties and garters, or… well, whatever you think represents your personality best!
The one reoccurring theme is that these pictures most commonly take place in a bedroom. But common doesn’t mean always! If having this picture snapped on a couch, love seat, or other such piece of furniture, that can happen! There are even some people who prefer their boudoir photographs to be snapped in the bathroom!
The goal isn’t to fit you into a mold. It’s to find the pieces of this puzzle, the tools, the setting and the clothing that will help uplift you. Your inner beauty will be allowed to shine with these pictures. We want to see you sparkle!
Are you ready for some self-love?
